The International Timpani Intensive
If you're an aspiring or professional timpanist, or simply a lover of classical music and timpani, you're in the right place! The ITI Team is excited to get to know you soon.
​
Here's what we do:
ITI is based on a simple, yet powerful idea:
celebrating our individual playing styles in a community forum will make us all better musicians.
01
Masterclasses
We will host 8 masterclasses presented by our International Faculty. Topics will include technique, repertoire, sound production, and more.
03
Mock Audition
All in-person Participants are invited to participate in the ITI Mock Audition. The Winner will be placed on the Houston Symphony sublist and be guaranteed a performance with the orchestra.
05
Video Livestream and Replay Library
All of the ITI Masterclasses will be livestreamed. You can purchase a pass and watch with us from anyone in the world! All Participants, Auditors, and Virtual Attendees will have access to all recordings for 30 days after ITI ends.
02
Private Lessons
Every in-person Participant of ITI will receive one private lesson during the intensive. Optionally, there will be opportunities for Participants and Auditors to take additional private lessons, subject to availability.
04
International Faculty
With every year we host ITI, it is our aim to have at least one international faculty member from outside the United States. We're honored to have Nick Woud joining us this year! Our mission is to celebrate diverse musical styles and techniques.
06
Inspiration, Exposure, and Motivation
At the heart of ITI is our passion for helping timpanists develop their craft and further their career. We envision current and future generations of timpanists attending ITI year after year as they share their own knowledge and experience, furthering the over all contributions of timpanists playing in ensembles all over the world.
